Well I started a bit late, so here you can see the first steps of my Jagdpanther for the Campaign.
It's the Revell 1/72 kit and the PE set from part.

E on the road wheels too? Looks like a real nice kit. I've seen more 72nd scale kits than you can shake a stick at since beginning this campaign. I have been impressed. They are not lacking in detail as much as I had thought

I'm not a big fan of the 72nd scale, but they sure don't skip on the detail. Coming along good ekke.

Thanks for your comments, guys and sorry for writing back so late.

There are no PE parts on the wheels, Steve, it's just reflections in the photo (the wheels of the Revell kit are awesome, they really don't need any improvement).
And of course I'm always happy to read compliments from people who build 1/35, thanks a lot.

Well here is my progress, I'm currently on holidays so I had a lot of time to build.
I painted the kit in a late war three-tone camo with green as base colour and only two white crosses as markings. After that I did some dry-brushing and applied some washes.
Rust and dust as well as mud was reproduced with brown and grey pastel chalks solved in paint thinner and/or dry.
I hope you guys like the result, I'll post another picture in the official campaign thread.
Greetings and thanks for your comments,
ekke
